Defeating Sebastian
When the battle starts, run the opposite way of the mist shooting
out of the grates. Jump over when needed. Sebastian will not jump,
thus burning himself. In his second phase, you must be directly
behind one of the mists and follow it around until it stops. When
he grabs onto the wall, put the purple portal object between you
and him. He will run directly into it. Do this three times to
continue. In his third phase, he will try to destroy the stone.
Jump up there so he gets off and charm the peasant in the room to
unload all of the mist on the ground. His fourth phase is just a
fist fight until the finish.
Allow Sebastian to kill you once. Then, allow the game to idle and
watch the "steam" appear and kill Sebastian.
At the beginning, block his attacks and watch out for his red
attack. Be careful -- after you knock him down, he will charge at
you with an unblockable tackle. Simply undo the Autoface and jump
over him. Next, he will start to run around in circles while a
column of thunder hits the middle of the room. Run around the
center while avoiding the dangerous gases from the side of the
room. When you see him stop, this means he will strike. Stand in
the room so that the column of thunder is between you and him. He
will run into it, then leap back into the side. Repeat this about
three times. Knowing he cannot defeat you, he will try to destroy
the Nexxus Stone. Jump on top of the platform and use the Charm
Gift on the guard that is activating the switches. Use him to
operate one of the switches and draw Sebastian to you. Continue to
attack until he is defeated.
Defeating the big mosquitoes
In almost every scene, the enemies have boundaries that they
cannot cross. If you find these boundaries, the mosquitoes will be
waiting on the opposite side for you to cross back over. Use the
jump attack by jumping over and kicking them. Then, before they
recover, run back over the boundary line. After four kicks the
mosquitoes will die. It is more difficult when there are two
waiting for you, but can still be done.
Wharves, Jumping to Rune Knights
Around the middle of the Wharves chapter is a place where you have
to constantly jump across a river with one Rune Knight in each
area you jump to. Before you jump, hit the Rune Knight twice with
Telekinesis. When you jump, try to make the jump indicator red so
that you hit the Rune Knight. While he is on the ground, draw your
weapons or get your claws out. Immediately when he stands, start
attacking and catch him off guard. Two hits should be required
with bare claws and only one hit with some sort of weapon.
Defeating the Sarafan Lord
When the battle starts, the most important thing to do is to
locate him. When you do, go to the platform across from him so
that there is a walkway between you. When he fires the energy
orbs, jump above the first one and stay down on the second. Then,
jump again on the third. When he is over you will have seconds to
use your Telekenisis on him. When you use it, immediately switch
over to jump and knock him off the ledge. You cannot be too close
to him when you try to jump or he will teleport away. When he has
the Soul Reaver out, switch over to Immolate. He only has one set
of attacks. He hits you five times, then uses the magic red sword.
Block his five attacks, jump back from the sword, and use Immolate
on him. This is the only way to hurt him here. Do this three times
to continue. When you get the Soul Reaver, he still has the same
attack pattern (five hits then the magic punch). Block the five
hits and jump straight up in the air to dodge the red hit. When
you get down, immediately use the Soul Reaver. You can only hit
him one time per round of attack. It will be awhile before you can defeat him.
When Kain has the Soul Reaver and the Sarafan Lord does the five
hits, dodge the magic hammer blow. Then, grab the Sarafan Lord and
thrust the Soul Reaver through his chest. You will defeat him in
less than a quarter of the time it would take with one hit on each turn.
Once you have obtained the Soul Reaver, build up your special
power and use the berserk attack. It will kill him within two hits.
After getting Kain's Soul Reaver back, the Sarafan Lord will hit
you with his five punch combo and his power punch. Block his five
punches and dodge his power punch so you can charge up Kain's
"Berserk" attack. When done, just block the Sarafan Lord's punches
and side step his power punch, then hit him with the "Berserk"
attack. If the Sarafan Lord does not block the attack, just repeat
and enjoy the ending.
For the first part, wait for him to teleport, then make your way
to him while avoiding his blasts. Before you stand on the same
platform he is on, fire a shot of Telekinesis to knock him back.
If done correctly, you will see him start to lose his balance.
While still standing far off, use the Jump power to knock him off
the platform. For the next part you must face him in hand-to-hand,
except you are not going to use your hands except to block. He
will do a five hit combo, then an unblockable attack. After
blocking the first five, back off and wait for him to finish his
attack. Then, move back in and continue to block. When your rage
is high enough, use the Immolate attack. This is the only attack
that can hurt him. After the short intermission sequence, you will
fight him again, but this time with the Soul Reaver in your hand.
Once again, he will do the five-hit combo plus the unblockable
attack. There is only one way to hurt him -- grab him and stab
him. Do this a couple of times, and you will view the ending sequence.
When you have reached the third and final stage of the battle with
the Sarafan Lord, you must block his first five attacks then
attack once. This takes far too long. Instead, select "Berserk"
from your Dark Gift menu when the final stage of the battle
begins. As you block his first five attacks then dodge his sixth
attack (which is unblockable), you will be building Berserk
energy. Block his five attacks then dodge the sixth unblockable
attack. Unleash your Berserk attack, and you will get in twice as
many hits. You only need do this twice and the Sarafan Lord will
be defeated. This shortens the battle and allows you to complete
the game with much less aggravation.
When the battle first starts, find him quickly. Then, go to the
nearest platform to him (not the same one) and use your
Telekinesis dark gift. Use it on him, then use your Jump dark gift
and jump on him. It will knock him off the platform. He will say
some things about the Nexus Stone. Kain will drop the Nexus Stone
off the platform, destroying the Hylden Gate. After that, do your
normal block dodge attack moves and use your dark gift Immolation.
This will take him down quickly. Ionnis will appear, and he and
the Sarafan Lord will fight. The Sarafan Lord wins and Ionnis will
tell you to pick up the Soulreaver. You will need to do normal
block dodge attack and use your dark gift Berserk to bring the
Sarafan Lord down very fast.
Defeating Magnus
Magnus is fairly simple to defeat. When he is standing in the
middle of the giant fountain that is surrounded by statues, run
and hide behind the closest one. He will try to burn you, but will
hit the statue. Jump out and shoot him with Telekinesis very
quickly. Once he falls into the water, run behind the next statue
until he tries to burn you again and repeat the process until he
leaves. It should only take three times. In the next room you will
see giant statues holding scythes. Magnus cannot burn you anymore,
but he will charge into you. Do not bother hitting him. It does
not do any good. Get in front of one of these statues and get him
to charge you. When he does, dodge him and he will run into the
scythe, breaking it. Once it breaks, you will see a glowing
telekinetic switch. Jump onto one of the boulders or platforms so
Magnus cannot get you, and shoot the switch. The statue will open
its arms. Do that to all of the statues and the gigantic statue in
the middle of the room will be put back together. Get Magnus to
charge into the base of the weapon that the statue is holding the
same way as before. When it breaks, make him charge into the base
until the statue falls and crushes him. Just stand next to it and
shoot Magnus with Telekinesis. That should make him charge you.
When you are fighting Mangus, it is a lot easier if you just grab
him and throw him into the giant statues holding scythes. Even if
you miss with the throw, he can still bump into them when he is
getting up, and they will still break.
When the battle starts, stand directly behind one of the statues.
Beware, his Immolate attack can kill you with one hit. When he
destroys the statue, use the Telekinesis gift to knock him into
the water. You will need to do this about four times. Enter the
next area with the Telekinesis still equipped. In this area, you
will see four statues glowing red. Stand in front of one and shoot
Magnus with the Telekinesis. He will charge at you, and when he
does, jump over him. A switch will appear at the feet of the
statue. Use your Telekinesis to operate it before Magnus recovers.
Do the same for the other four, and the statue in the middle will
rebuild itself. Next, use the Statue technique on the large one;
you may need to do this more than once. This should finish him off.
Defeating Marcus
You will fight Marcus in a cathedral, on the bottom floor first.
On the left and right sides of the room are switches, one on each
side. These switches activate bells which disrupt Marcus'
concentration and leave him vulnerable for a short time. Hit one
switch, then run to the other switch, hitting Marcus on the way.
Continue this until his "puppets" disable the bells. Go up to the
second floor. Marcus will just run around until you kill him. Use
the jump ability to alternate between sides, hitting him on the
way. Once he dies, you obtain the Charm ability.
Just hit the bell switches and hit him when he is stunned. When
his puppets disable the bell, you can still ring it by jumping
into it. He is easier to locate that way. Then, just run around
killing enemies while hacking up Marcus, occasionally ringing the
bell. You can avoid the puppets altogether, but you will want to
build up your Lore bar as much as possible.
To defeat Marcus follow the previous strategies until his
"puppets" break the bells. After this happens, chase Marcus until
you run into his "puppets". Kill the puppets, increasing your Lore
and Blood bar. He will be on the same floor as his "puppets" --
this will help you learn where his next minion is located. When
you find him, use combos repeatedly until he loses.
Chase him into the room that has two switches on each side. Once
there, run to a switch and use it to ring the church bells. This
will momentarily paralyze Marcus. Attack him with combos and the
Fury power. When he recovers, run to the switch on the other side
and ring the bell again. Continue to do this until he summons the
bishops. Run upstairs and attack the guard, gaining any lost blood
and weapons. He will be invisible, but will occasionally reappear.
When he does, chase him, then attack him. You can still hurt him
while he is invisible. He will summon more guards, but will be
defeated before long.
Raising Kain's lore
When you encounter a save point, avoid it. Instead, first kill all
the enemies ahead. After your satisfied with the amount of enemies
you have killed, backtrack to the save point that was skipped and
hit it. The game records your current lore level at this point.
Next, after the save point is hit, kill yourself. Therefore when
you regenerate at the save point, you will have the same amount of
lore. All the enemies that you already killed are back. Kill them
again and get even more lore. The Relic Boxes also work in the same way.
Do not max out Kain's lore (blood bar roughly the same
length as lore bar and lore bar full). If this is done and the
game is saved, Kain's blood bar will revert to absolutely nothing.
If this happens, a simple jump will cause Kain to die. If you kill
all available targets (including humans) throughout the game, you
will achieve the same blood bar level as you would using the
trick. If you do use this trick and are nearly maxed out, stop
drinking blood and opening relics. Otherwise, you will lose all
your hard work when you save.
Defeating Faustus
At first, you are in a small circle room with two doors. All you
have to do is face the Boss and hold Attack + Block. Wait for him
to attack. He has four different types. In the first, he does a
five or six hit combo. In the second, he can punch, then kick. In
the third, he will just kick. In the fourth, he jumps back with a
red glow and lunges forward. When he uses his first type of
attack, wait until he punches a third time, then release your
block and attack. Repeat this about five times to continue. In the
next room you must use the mist form to sneak up to the furnace
and burn him. To do this, you must first find the two furnaces
with fog in front of them. They are on opposing sides. When you
first enter the room, one is to the left and the other is to the
right. Run around until he jumps to one of the two, then sneak to
the corner and turn mist on. Slowly walk to the switch and fry
him. Finally, he will jump around and lunge at you. Just run
around until he lunges. This will cause him to eventually fall.
Run up to him and use a combo. This must be done about three or
four times in order to defeat him.
Keep blocking and sidestepping his attacks while finding open
spots for attack until you get about one quarter of his life down.
Then, he will run off and enter a room will large heaters and mist
around them. When Faustus jumps on to a heater, proceed towards
the beginning of the mist trail that leads to the heater and pull
the switch to hurt him. Keep repeating this procedure until he
jumps up on to a chain, then run to a corner of the room and stay
there until Fautus jumps down . He will now try to jump and kick
you from far away. If you sidestep his attack, he will hit the
wall and will be vulnerable for a few seconds. Keep repeating this
until he is dead.
The easiest way to defeat Faustus is to block until your Fury bar
glows and hit him with that. Dodge every time you see him try to
use a glyph attack. It only takes two Fury hits to get him to go
to the furnace room. Load up the Mist glyph and head to a steam
spot immediately. You should be able to turn on the furnaces
without taking too much damage running from steam spot to steam
spot. Once he gets burned and starts running around the rafters,
just run around the edges of the room until you hear him drop
down. Try to be near a corner or wall. Wait for him to jump at
you, then jump or dodge his attack. Once he hits the wall, he will
be stunned. You can hit him with a good combo before he jumps back
up to the rafters. Repeat this two or three times and he will die quickly.
At the start, equip your Fury power. Block his combos, and back up
when you see him charge up with a red attack (which is
unblockable). Try to get some hits in, then use Fury when it is
charged up. You will then enter a room with four furnaces.
Conveniently, one furnace has mist that flows close to the center
of the room. Chase him around until he is on top of that furnace.
Then, without getting too close to it, use the Mist power, and
activate the furnace. You will need to do this about three to four
times. Finally, he will jump up into the ceiling and strike you
when he comes down. Keep running close to the walls, and he will
run into them. Attack him when he recovers. Keep this up until he
is defeated.
Cheat mode
Press Z, R, L, B, X, Y at the main menu. A voice will say "Go
cheese" to confirm correct code entry. Start a new game to begin
with the Soul Reaver and Iron Armor.
Instant death attack
To do an instant death attack, you must have mist in the area of
the person. Enter the mist using your dark skill ability "Mist",
then sneak up behind them. A skull will appear. Use this time to
attack and you will cause instant death to the enemy. If you
run into the front of the person, they will immediately attack.
Easy health
Immediately after clearing a checkpoint, if you are low on health,
reload the game. You will be back exactly where you just were,
except your health meter is now completely full.
Easy kill
After defeating Sebastian and acquiring the Dark Gift Charm, use
it on a enemy that you cannot charm. It will appear as if they
have a headache. Quickly run towards the enemy and attack. Repeat
this until the enemy is killed.
